race for the democratic site. historic the democratic party called it, hillary clinton barely beating bernie sanders. the final numbers came in just about two hours ago. on the democratic side, you see exceptionally a 50/50 split, but hillary clinton did come out slightly ahead as far as the state delegate equivalents. republican side, ted cruz took iowa for the republicans beating donald trump by four percentage points here. marco rubio really not far behind in this case. he fratrails trump by just one point. we'll have much more from here on the ground in des moines as well as we managed to hear from bernie sanders as he got off the plane in new hampshire this morning. we'll have that for you in a second. right now we are looking at 6:00 and we're dealing with another water main break unfortunately. this one in montgomery county.

wssc has dealt with two water main breaks in silver spring so far this week alone. the latest broken pipe has part of bonnifant street shut down. >> good morning. we're taking another live look at this picture here. you can see it's kind of a mess there on bonifant street at georgia avenue. it is a very small section of roadway. so you can pretty easily make your way around it. no doubt when crews get there at #: 8:00 this morning, some good work ahead of them. southbound 3rd street tunnel, ramp to westbound freeway, disabled vehicle. you can see the beltway and all the main routes in and out of town looking quite good. an issue northbound 202 at marlboro pike, a car into the woods. and rafftravel times coming up. outside this morning, a

little patchy fog across northern maryland and for our friends and neighbors in the shenandoah valley. temperatures this morning cooler than yesterday. we're starting off in the mid-30s for most. 36 now this rockville. 38 at reagan national. what it expect today? a little fog around early this morning. later today, a mix of clouds and sunshine. temperatures up here 50. next 24 hours look like this. a dry start this morning. temperatures mid-30s. by 7:00 tonight, skies will be mostly cloudy. temperatures mid-40s. and by 7:00 a.m. tomorrow

decision. turnout here was high and that's what some of the candidates had hoped for. this is where the parties have been doing the math. you can see this is the map that shows the winners in each of the 99 counties here in iowa. hillary clinton the heavy favorite going in to the caucuses as we mentioned, but her win was really -- you look at the numbers, it's really hike crow skopic almost the win over bernie sanders. both candidates confident this morning. bernie sanders just got off the plane in new hampshire. listen to what he had to say in the dark as he was stepping off the plane. >> it's been a long haul. we will win states all over this

country. prie please didn't ask me after eefr state. you could win some states, you can lose some state, but i think we have shown the american people that we -- >> different piece of sound there. bernie sanders still on the plane obviously. but hillary clinton also said last night that she's relieved and she thanked iowans for all their work and for caucusing for her last night. both hillary clinton and bernie sanders will host rallies in new hampshire today. they both landed there as have several of the republican candidates, as well. so it's on to new hampshire and the primary next week. >> speaking of new hampshire, republicans are there today. senator ted cruz fresh off a big win for him. >> it was absolutely. and we talked about the numbers, turnout being significant here. if it was significant, that would bode well for donald trump. but the reality was that particularly in ted cruz's case,

evangelicals showed up in big numbers and he was able to come out on top here with donald trump and marco rubio following right behind him. so he's on to new hampshire with a little bit of momentum going there. >> and we know at least one campaign is over this morning. 1% of iowa voters picked martin o'malley. >> right. martin o'malley had campaigned here in iowa more than any of the other democratic candidates. but last night his showing was such that he was ready to end his campaign, to end his efforts to become president. he had been saying hold strong. that was his message in his last minute campaigning here, but obviously last night he saw essentially the writing on the wall and decided to end his campaign. same goes for mike huckabee on the republican side. >> all right. aaron gilchrist live in des moines for us. thank you. and just to reiterate what aaron was talking about, hits on both sides of the aisle are bowing out of the presidential rate after the caucuses. martin o'malley says he success

he sa suspended the campaign and thankd suppothank supporters. and mike huckabee also ended his campaign. rick santorum is reassessing his chances. we have a lot more to talk about from iowa. coming up, we'll show you what caucusgoers in iowa are saying. right now we're in the middle of a water main break season. wssc has dealt with two water main breaks in silver spring already this week. the latest broken pipe is part of bonifant street shut down right before georgia avenue. megan mcglacgrath is live with . i can't believe there is another one so soon. >> reporter: well, you can see behind me here the hole that has been left behind when this water main broke. it was a 10 inch pipe that broke overnight. and it will require some work here to get this fixed. they will start doing that work around 8:00 morning.

right now they're just sort of monitoring the situation. this is bonifant street just before georgia area and there was a break in the same area on sunday. so this is the second problem here on bonifant. fortunately we're not seeing any impact to georgia avenue. but when we see fluk chuations in temperatures like we've had over the last several days, we had a blizzard and then we had 50 degree temperatures, that's not good for water mains. it causes that expansion and contraction of the pipes. makes them susceptible to breaks. take a look to what we had yesterday. also on silver spring but university boulevard, a much larger water main break that really caused problems during rush hour, that break closing down lanes, it took hours to make the repair and it really snarled traffic. we've gotten an update, all of the lanes on university boulevard have reopened for the rush hour.

however, stiometime after 9:00 a.m. this morning, they will close down two eastbound lanes on university to do some repaving work. back to you all. so we'll be looking at that in a couple of minutes and also a brand new problem on the beltway. take story also coming up. marijuana use is in the spotlight again. the potential ban thin play tod. and fears

6:12. today the d.c. council will take up the issue of whether to maintain a ban on so-called pot clubs. mayor muriel bowser wants the authority to shut down a business if people are smoking pot inside. chief concern, the district noose way to regulate them. current law bans smoking anywhere outside of private homes. today the d.c. council will also vote on a new crime bill. the near act aims to combat spike in crime. this is a different crime bill than the one mayor muriel bowser proposed this august. the near act would establish a program to keep criminals from reoffending and will examine the best policing practices nationwide. another data breach this morning. what hackers are were able to access from the largest police

take a look, two potholes and maybe the beginning of the third. it will be a few months before d.c. starts its program called potholepalooza. they started this i think back in 2009. and since then, they have filled more than 36,000 potholes. and want to get an early start. if you see one of these, you can call the mayor's call center at 311 or you can do that online, go to 311.dc.gov. or do it on twitter, #potholepalooza. of course you can also go to our website and search potholes and the ways that you can report them for each reernlg on. they can run from maybe the minor ones that don't really bother you to those that can knock your suspension or your front end alignment off. and of course we will see more of those as we have other

freezes and thaws this winter when they really will take a serious assault on the spring. we're live in northwest. derrick ward, news 4. are you still digging out of your sidewalks in prince george's county? get out that shovel. because you may still face a fine. the county issued more than 300 tickets last week for sidewalks that weren't shoveled. those tickets are $100 each. officials say if there is still snow on the ground, offenders could be ticketed a second or even third time. police are not saying how two virginia tech students charged with abducting and killing a 13-year-old girl knew the victim. david eisenhauer and nat keepers are charged in the death of nicole lovell. arrest warrants show no firearms were used. a reston man will appear in

a florida court tomorrow after authorities say he attacked a passenger and flight attendant as. prosecutors say joseph sharkey put a passenger in a headlock and fought with two flight attendants and tried to open up the exit door. the man was restrained on board the flight. it was a jetblue flight from reagan to jacksonville. the personal information of thousands of police officers nationwide is at risk. the fraternal order of police is the country's largest police union. it says there was a security breach of its computer system and some tiles wefiles were pos online. it could affect more than 300,000 members. the union president says most of the information stolen was available on public websites but the member information was not. virginia's transportation secretary wants to limit where the state can put new tolls. this per from aubrey lane would

stop the executive branch from imposing tolls without lawmakers' approval except in certain cases. general assembly would not have a say this tolls on roads when a hugh la new lane has been added. the per will not impact the tolling plan for 66 in northern virginia. loudoun county public schools could soon have all day kindergarten. the administration says this would cost roughly $16.5 million. that includes hiring enough teachers, support staff and materials. more than 5,000 kindergarten age students are expected to enroll in the fall. the. more of your kids in virginia could be heading back to school before labor day this summer. the republican controlled house voted to approve the measure yesterday that would allow local boards to set their own calendars. this could mean starting class before the september holiday. the bill now moves to the

time for weather and traffic on the 1s. chuck bell tracking this weather pattern for us. a little warm-up on the way, chuck? >> relatively mild today. temperatures up near 50. but we have a few pockets down below freezing this morning. a lot of snow melting during the day yesterday, so there could be some icy sidewalks and side streets here. so be careful for that. what to wear today, put the kid t widow in the medium coat. mostly in the mid-30s this morning. a couple areas of fog. coming home today, temperatures up near 50 degrees. see you thu tyou in ten minutes. >> icy conditions reported. vdot says loudoun county parkway road conditions very icy right now. same situation in montgomery county. take a look, chopper 4 over a full road closure here because

of a crash and icy conditions. this is watkinsville road. blue, orange and silver line delays. germantown to the beltway, a little behind. taking you 20 minutes. top of the beltway typically slow from 95 over to 270. 66 and 95, both looking pretty good.problems on roads as crews work to repair another water main break. we're live at the scene. and i'm aaron gilchrist live in des moines. the impact the caucuses will have and what the candidates are doing to

right now we're watching the presidential picture after a his tore rig night he historic night here in iowa. hillary clinton and ted cruz are your winners, but we have a better idea of who will be their big challengers as they move into new hampshire. first weather and traffic. i'm chuck bell. some areas down below freezing this morning. watch out for ice on side streets and sidewalks this morning especially upper montgomery county out towards

prince william and parts of western fairfax. we're seeing the effects of that ice right now. chopper 4 over this problem watkinsville road. we're shut down here because of the icy conditions. another problem being reported there along loudoun county parkway. we'll have details on all of this coming up. >> we will win some state respestates, we will lose some states. >> bernie sanders speaking earlier this morning. his plane just landing in new hampshire for a full day of campaigning. he's coming off a close loss to hillary clinton. take a look, clinton barely beat bernie sanders in a historically close race. earlier clinton's campaign said it believed she won since there was no way to sanders to pull ahead in delegates. and ted cruz took iowa for the republicans beating donald trump by four points. marco rubio wasn't far behind,

he trails trump by just one point. >> those are the numbers. so now let's get some perspective on the caucuses. >> our aaron gilchrist is live in des moines. and you've had a busy night. >> good morning. you're right. it's been a long night. especially for the number crunchers here and with our nbc news political team, as well. looking at this race, hillary clinton barely beating bernie sanders as you mentioned. just a few state dell gegate equivalents separate the two of them. martin o'malley out of the race. chuck todd has some perspective this morning. >> wow, iowa is now out of the way and, boy, did it deliver the close races that we expected. ted cruz ended up on top proving that organization mattered more than celebrity here in iowa. he got the big win. it was a must win for him. now we go to thp in that, now

that's new hampshire, a must win for donald trump. the other big story is marco rubio, the close third-place finish could mean the so-called establishment wing of the party will now coalesce around rubio. can he make a run at trump in new hampshire and see if he can turn a three-way race in to a two way one with ted cruz. the democratic side, hillary clinton did not get the monkey off her back and get the outright win that she needed. this now puts pressure on her to close the gap in new hampshire and start finding some states that she can win in perhaps in nevada and south carolina. >> as far as hillary clinton and bernie sanders go, we can tell that you they are both this iowa -- i'm sorry, in new hampshire as we speak landing early this morning there. they already have a schedule filled with events for their time there. and then the democratic hits now just two of them will take part in a debate. an msnbc debate happening later in the week on thursday night i

believe. the primary in new hampshire is next tuesday. back in it ramping up for the primary on tuesday. as we said, this was a very close race. democratic party here releasing a statement on the results and they said, quote, we saw an historically close democratic caucus that featured one of our strongest turnouts ever and the results tonight are the closest in iowa democratic caucus history. so a big night here. we knew turnout would be key for some of the candidates here and obviously last night history made at the least on the democratic side. >> and you actually went to a caucus last night. that must have been interesting for you. >> it was really interesting to watch. we went to one of the sites hosting both democratic and help cau republican caucuses. nonvoters were kicked out because they needed more space. and there was a lot of back270

at middlebrook road, a crash just happened here in the middle of the roadway. so that no doubt will really slow folks headed south bound. goshen road at centerway, again a crash there, county called in to salt the road. also vdot telling us icy conditions along loudoun county parkway. 75 at green valley road, overturned car there. 270 at montrose, no major problems there. south of that issue at middlebrook. the blue, orange, silver line delays remain. right now a water main break in silver spring has created quite a mess. this is the second water main break since the weekend began. right now a big hole is right in the middle of bonifant street just before georgia avenue. and that is where megan mcgrath is right now to show us the damage. >> reporter: you can see that hole behind me
